Nico

of course there's the VU album, but even if you skip over that there's The Marble Index, one of my favorite albums...The End is great...Desertshore is very good as well...Nico's voice alone is most definitely not crap...

Nico's life story is the very definition of sadness. There was a very thorough Nico documentary on the BBC, a couple of years back, and John Cale played an incredible rendition of 'Frozen Warnings' on the piano at the end.

Iggy also credits her with being a huge artistic inspiration, and has spoken of her with what seems like serious respect. (I read I Need More and Please Kill Me too: "Zhimmy, you must be totally poisoned...") The documentary Nico Icon was well done, and very depressing. Wtf, she gave her teenage son his first shot of heroin?? A haunting voice and powerful mystique, but most of her solo stuff tends to make me want to kill myself. I do like "These Days" and "I'll Keep It With Mine" at times, though.
